[edit] Album information
A New Day... Live in Las Vegas features thirteen live tracks from Céline Dion's incredibly successful Las Vegas show, called A New Day... and two previously unreleased studio tracks: "You and I" and "Ain't Gonna Look the Other Way." It was also released with bonus DVD (a 45-min documentary, called One Year... One Heart).
A New Day... Live in Las Vegas inludes five live songs wich weren't available od Dion's previous albums: "Fever," "I've Got the World on a String," "I Wish," "If I Could," and "What a Wonderful World." The studio versions of last two were included on her next album Miracle.
"If I Could" was originally recorded by Nancy Wilson on her Nancy Now! album in 1988. Ray Charles covered it on My World in 1993. Barbra Streisand also inluded the song on her Higher Ground album in 1997.
The French edition of A New Day... Live in Las Vegas contained "Contre Nature" as a bonus track.
A New Day... was originally filmed in Spring 2004 and was supposed to be released in Fall 2004 but it was cancelled. The show was re-shot during the January 17-21, 2007 show week. The anticipated release of the DVD is now set for December 2007. Additionally, there are plans to release the original filming (from 2004) so fans are able to see the evolution of A New Day....
